Collective Memory of Total War: U.S. and WWII
What did it mean to live through a total war? WWII killed 400,000 Americans and wounded over 1,000,000 more
Some of the newly declassified documents are the relatively insignificant residue of decades of neglect. For example,
there are 400,000 pages of Office of Strategic Services "records" that turn out to be index cards to other records that had previously been declassified.
The Polish Underground or AK (Armia Krajowa or Home Army) was the largest in Europe with 400,000 men.

Stalin was buddy buddy with us.
yea, mrsd', I'm hip, to the obvious connection of 'Uncle Joe', being one of the 'Big Three', etc, etc,
but with all the minutia, surrounding this particular story, seemed like a rather random answer,with less direct ties to the clues, than other choices.
oh well, nevermind, I'm sure Aunt Val' has a dozen quotes with highlights, and arrows and smiley tongues, so I better shut up.

This additional supply of black gold is controlled by extremely right wing fascists. One reported trader in this market is the son of George Bush.
His theory revolves around the year 1954. London Bullion Market was shut down in 1939 at the onset of war. Even before the war, England’s gold reserves were extremely low

The Schutzstaffeln's (SS) Office for Economy and Administration, which operated the concentration camps, also wanted their loot held by the Reichsbank to be sent to Merkers for safekeeping. From August 26, 1942, until January 27, 1945, the SS made seventy-six deliveries to the Reichsbank of property seized from concentration camp victims. This stolen property was received for a holding account in the name of "Melmer," named for SS Capt. Bruno Melmer, who made most of the deliveries. Gold jewelry was sold abroad; gold of some fineness was sold either to the Prussian Mint or to Degussa, a large German industrial firm that engaged in the refinement of precious metals. Securities, foreign currency, and similar items were purchased by the Reichsbank. Much of the miscellaneous jewelry was sold through the Berlin Municipal Pawn Shop. Once the transactions took place, the proceeds were credited to the account of "Max Heiliger," codeword for Heinrich Himmler and his SS. By early 1945, much of the loot had been processed, but a significant amount still remained with the Reichsbank
